volume controle in youtube

Does anyone else also has that -when you use the volume buttons- you get the touchflo volume screen rather than having the original small indicator on the left in the youtube client??
anybody knows a fix for this? (it isn't really important, cause I don't use youtube very much, but it has worked before )
whoohoo, my very first own thread

yep, get that too... but tapping in the grey areas returns you to youtube faster than just waiting for it to eventually close

I know, but it's just annoying dat you can't watch a movie when you change the volume (because you'll miss 2 sec due to the volume screen)
But if there isn't any fix for this... it's OK... (I'm not going to do a hard reset just for this stupid thingy )

Disable Hardware Buttons When Locked

I know this question has been asked already but has anybody yet found a way to disable to hardware buttons whilst the phone is locked to prevent accidently answering or rejecting an incoming call whilst removing the HD2 from your pocket or pouch?
I have tried various software, tweaks that i found whilst searching this site but cant get any of them to work
Had my HD2 since Tuesday and love it, just need to find a way to stop answering the phone when taking it out of the pouch!

This is very important thing and I hope someone will find a solution soon.........

hi
there are solutions, pokectshield and s2u
iosu

I too need this, I have tried the ones mentioned but they either dont work or they have their own slide ontop of the HTC slide, so 2 in effect.
Would be nice to have one that just disables the button!

S2u2 and pocket shield did not lock the volume buttons for me so when in pocket they were still pressed annoying me a lot when I listen to my tunes. Pressing any other button was bringing the screen back to lock so in other words no difference at all.

How is this done with S2U? I installed it and the buttons still worked.
My experience is that if anything the bigger slider caused more chance of it unlocking accidentally, if the phone moves and the screen rubs against your leg. Wasn't an issue with a resistive screen but mine was worse for 'unlocking itself' with S2U. So far it texted a nonsense sms to an ex and rang my mum all by itself - both dangerous!
I always put it in that way yo help protect the screen from being knocked accidentally.

There is a perfectly working solution for this here:

Simple and nice, install and soft reset and never worry about pressing the button while taking your phone out of the cover.

That application is for locking the hardward buttons when in a call, not when the phone is locked, or am I missing something?

I tried S2U2 also and having no problem disabling the call answer and call end buttons when there is incoming call.

It's quite the other way around. At least the cab I installed. Hardware buttons work in call, but when the phone is locked and there is an incoming call the buttons are locked (to prevent the accidental pressing).
Hence, not disabling anything you actually would like to use.
EDIT: This is what the description says:
"InCall Lock will temporarily disable Send (aka Talk, Green) and End (aka Red) hardware buttons when you receive an incoming call in order to prevent accidental call pickups/rejects while you are pulling your device out of your pocket. All other hardware buttons are untouched."
So the name can be obfuscating, but as the description says, the yes/no hardware buttons are disabled during an incoming call (prior to answering), but active during the actual call.

I don't know if I'm misinterpreting the question, but there is a solution for disabling the hardware keys to prevent accidental answer/reject of an incoming call which I've linked to earlier in this thread.
I have that solution installed right now, and when someone is calling I cant answer or reject by pressing the hardware buttons, I have to use the slider on the touch screen.

What I want is to prevent the keypad from waking up the device unless you press the power key.

No one here wants buttons to be disabled when call is incoming. We just want buttons to be disabled when you put device in to sleep.
Go on test it. Put music on in music tab or WM player or any other with your headphones or without. Press red button to put device in to sleep mode (use manual lock if you have disabled auto lock). Press volume buttons and see what happens.
If you have s2u2 or pocket shield or nothing effect is the same.

I'm sorry but I can't agree with you. The thread clearly states in the first post
"has anybody yet found a way to disable to hardware buttons whilst the phone is locked to prevent accidently answering or rejecting an incoming call whilst removing the HD2 from your pocket or pouch?"
The answer to this is yes, and I've linked to the solution previously.

Sorry buddy but you're quite wrong. That's EXACTLY what I want and apologies if I wasn't crystal clear in describing it - I may not have been since I also want the same as you.
Umiss - I'm going to go and check out that cab you mentioned because if that really works then brilliant!!!!

so how do you want to answer a call with this cab installed and enabled?
i also would like to prevent unwanted presses....but i do want to reject or accept a call on some way, without mispressing a button.

When a call comes in the screen is enabled so I just slide to answer or reject. It won't happen by accident in all likeliness, and removes the huge annoyance of the hardware buttons being accidentally pressed. It's the one thing that majorly pisses me off about this awesome phone.
If they wanted to, they could simply do a cab file that disables them perhaps when the proximity sensor detects the face of the phone is against something. That would be good too, unless I'm not considering some factor.

Hmmm, I've just installed that app and it seems to only partly work.
The reject call button locks perfectly but the answer button does not lock so it can still be pressed. I also managed to press the home button and get to the Sense screen once, but when I tried this a second time it didn't do it, so I think it might be a bit buggy.
A definite step in the right direction though, at least I now have fewer buttons that can be pressed accidentally!

Volume key in HTC SENSE Music player

Hi
When using the HTC Sense Music player, the volume key sometimes acts as forward/backward in songs and some times as volume key. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here. Cannot find any settings regarding this issue

Hmph, I never got this issue.

Same problem here
I'm facing the same issue here. Any advise ?

Even i was facing same issue in youtube client ...
but after soft reset its working fine

same problem
hi. i'm facing the same problem. anyone discover anything?

I don't install things like that, but have this problem. It's nothing to do with anything that's installed on top of the UI.
This is a known issue, and has been discussed on here before. There is no answer at the moment. It's most likely a feature that has bugs in it. It would be nice to just stick to either volume or track skipping, depending on what you want. I normally get volume control from the buttons, but it does occassionaly skip tracks.
HTC may be aware of it - they may not. Since it happens so rarely for me, I'm not too fussed, but if it's bothering someone then they should report it to HTC, just in case they don't know about it.

solution
i found a solution but it's a bit painfull!!!!
hardreset your htc and after that it should be fine.
i've done this and my volume key it's working as it suppose to do!

This isn't a solution, as it's an intermittent problem. If you've had it before, you'll have it again. It will just take a while to reappear.

i think it was something that i installed that cause this problem.

It's an issue with the UI. It's possible that you could cause this by installing something, but uninstalling it would not stop it happening as the problem is native.

uh? Actually the whole volume function is messed up on the HD2. Sometimes it works, then you suddenly no longer see the volume indicator when using the buttons when watching a video, or it forwards/rewinds the videos/music and best of all sometimes it just crashes the whole device! Soft-reset and it's back to normal. There's a bug in Manila and HTC has to fix it.

This bug and the sms bug are the only problems i have with this phone.. both are so frustrating..

its a real pain in the ass sometimes, i experience this problem too - its definitely a bug

Need major help with screen

I recently got a replacement Vogue only to find that for some reason, when I run Windows Media Player, I cannot turn off the screen using the power button and continue to hear music. The screen has to be on and does not turn itself off which causes major battery drainage . Does anyone have an idea?

My suggestion would be use Nitrogen, much better media player than WMP.

What you can do is change the toggle settings with a button, so the screen itself turns off with whatever button you wanted to map it with. Here's how to do it: Tools>Settings>Buttons then select Screen Toggle, then choose a button, and there ya go Now you will be able to turn the screen off while you rock on!

Alright, I decided to get both Nitrogen and attempt to fix the button settings. Nothing worked. It seems as though the phone recognizes the power button as a close application button rather than a simple sleep button. Putting the phone in sleep (pressing the power button) still turned the music off. Does anyone else have any suggestions? BTW im running WinMo 6.1. To add, I cannot recall this happening before I unlocked the phone, but I am still unsure of whether this still happened or not because I cannot remember.

Here is a way: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838354.aspx
somewhere there is a cab for this.

here it is: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1564987&postcount=2

I installed the cab but still nothing. I also took a look at the MSDN post but I have no clue about writing C++ so... Anyone else want to give it a go?

EnterpriseNX01 what did you unlock your phone with?
Also, if I remember correctly before I switched to Android, my phone would not sleep while playing music? Or is you problem that your phone will not go to sleep at all?

I unlocked it with Cokeman's unlocker. I did get an error message that I am just remembering now, Not sure if it has anythign to do with it, but I am running windows 7 x64 and when I ran the unlocker i got an error message about something called sleep.exe. I had another post that someone told me just to ignore it and it would still unlock my phone, which it did. The phone sleeps, but does not play music while it is sleeping, or in idle (i.e. whenever i push the power button to turn the screen off).

Multiple problems after official froyo update

i successfully updated to froyo from kies. before this i had the stock rom and did not install any custom one
after updating my proximity sensor works when the phone is held vertical in an upright position
but after making a call, if i keep it on the table and close the sensor, the screen doesn't turn off. it should turn off and was working fine in 2.1 for me
can you guys confirm if the sensor turns off even when laid flat on the table?
also, the volume up/down button does not silence the ringtone when i get a call
please reply so that i can confirm whether the problem is with my phone or with the new release.

Not sure about the sensor problem but as far as your second problem is concerned hold the vol down button for a few seconds to mute the ringtone
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

Proximity Sensor is problematic
Yes The Sensor does'nt seem to be responding towards the end of the call. Just use the home key to light up the screen.

The display screen timeout settings does not automatically turn off even after specified time.this happens very often and need to enable screen timeout settings again and again.

Yes , I am experiencing problem with Swype , it is not responding to aby gesture. I am able to type using swype as regular keypad but not as "swype". I resetted my phone 3-4 times but i wasn't lucky.
So i am using keypad only. Its official DDJP2 FROYO version thpugh its flashed using odin as i was experiencing problem with KIES.

I am experiencing some strange behavior in media and notification sound. while i play some song and want to lock my screen from power button, some glitchy sound is coming, same happening when some messages coming. is anybody experiencing the same. plz try it with headphone attached while playing a song and just lock the screen from power button menu...

This is the worst release by Samsung , as per me....Even on call if you are using headphone, you will hear clicking sound (argh)

Yes the proximity sensor isn't working fine. Screen does not turn on after a call. So I need to press home screen every time.
And long pressing menu button in call log does not enable search bar which happened perfectly in 2.1

we do know about pressing the power on/off key but that also switches off the sceen. but volume up/down only silences the ringtone but doesn't switch off screen.

and during a call, if you press volume up/down button to increase/decrease the volume, the voice breaks for a second and you hear a clicking noise.
these problems are seriously irritating me. thinking of going back to 2.1 or some custom ROM is samsung does not release an update fixing these problems.

Few more problems that I had observed....
1. If you open contacts and press back button you won't be going any where
2. Previously I used to connect my phone using bluetooth to my PC (Ubuntu) but now even after turning on my Bluetooth along with visiblity phone is not visible. Once I was lucky and recognized my phone as "V5" though the device name is different.
3. If you try to add pics to the contacts from your gallery the time taken is very long which was not the case with Eclair 2.1
4. Previously with Launcher Pro plus on Eclair I never had to "Force close" any application, but after upgrading to Froyo the first call itself raised a warning for force close. Even after sometime in my other call I couldn't End my call as the screen was not responsive.
After a struggle for One day on latest Firmware I feel that its not that worth to wait this much amount of time for official firmware.

I have another different problem my battery life is not going above 10 hrs while on 2.1 i used to get 18hrs. Am i missing some setting or what.I am gonna install something else if this **** firmware does not improve in the next update

i think this update was hastily released.
many bugs in it.
if you see the in-built task manager, the "uninstall" button is not even properly designed.
even accelerometer has some problems

the worst bug ever is the camera bug
theres this geo-tagging option..
until you get a fix on ur location camera will force close..
and it cant be disabled at all..
the only way to get around it is to use 3g or disable network mode in 2g..

+ add one more bug to the list,
the microphone is also not working properly with different applications like Talking Tom or Talking Parrot, previously they used work on 2.1 without any problem or distrubance.
Did anybody also had the same problem?
One good thing with the Froyo update is previously my phone is used to restart unconditionally with the stock firmware (randomly sometimes during call or when Ideal). But till now no such weird behaviour in the current release.
